Looks pretty good. One thing you may want to consider is that most dirt scoops are made to where you can hook them up so that they scoop in forward or reverse. In your case maybe you only need to scoop in reverse, but if you ever use it for grading moving forward is nice. I like the trailer...

Agreed. Before doing it, just make sure the tractor can't actually start, and/or have brakes set and trans in neutral.

Welcome. Firstly, take a breather. Secondly, including the model of the machine in the post/title would be very helpful.

I agree with you there, I can hitch up the traditional way pretty easily without the extra weight or view reduction of a QH. But a brush mower always kicked me, especially if its not sitting quite level.

Evening, Not to discount your issue in any way, but in general you shouldn't be steering without moving in the first place, especially with a load on the front axle. Not a good practice to do frequently.

Mine is right at the full mark with a little over 3 including filling the filter. No idea what the manual calls for.

Well, thanks everyone. Good to know I'm not alone in thinking this.

It doesn't matter what you are doing... I love reading these posts about what you come up with. Building and changing on the fly is pretty much how my mind works. Firewood Jig looks great.

Seems like those Chinese carbs are good enough but just never quite right like the original once was. Maybe you could try to clean/ rebuild the original. New needle/seat etc. Just a thought. Your list of completed steps seems pretty comprehensive.

I very well may have missed an adjustment... I have never found any of them comfortable but I have never heard anyone else have a problem with them either which is why I figured to ask about it.

Off topic question but I'm curious. I drive a early 80s Ford Truck. Basic seat with no headrests. I find it very comfortable, and it allows you to keep a good posture. Whenever I have to drive a newer vehicle, I feel that the headrest is aggressively tilted forward, making your neck...

@fckerr Very sorry for the loss of your father. If you are able to get it started, a video of it running would be useful. On the same note, if it is running, I think you will find it very simple to operate with an hour of practice and a youtube tutorial.

Not trying to cut you down, but no tractor is made for clearing land. They are great for maintaining land, but clearing is not the stongsuit of a tractor, no mater how big.

I learned on a stick welder. Mostly was able to figure it out in an afternoon. Stick is harder for thin steel (like your mower deck), but better if outside or in the open. Mig is easier in a lot of cases but there's nothing wrong with arc welding either.
